I've been livin' in the right laneKeepin' my speed a steady paceI've been tryin' to do the best thingGoin' a little slow, but staying in the race

Always believed I could get what I wantedEven if it took a little whileAlways believed I could take care of my brotherDo my thing with style

I've been livin' in the right laneSometimes arrive a little lateI've been tryin' to do the best thingPeople tell me a shouldn't waitThere have been others travelin' the same roadGet just where they want to beThere have been time when I wanted to break my moldSwitch over to another speed

I've been livin' in the right laneSeeing others cruise on byI've been tryin' to do the best thingThink I'll give the passin' lane a tryAm I the kind who would run over my brotherJust to get where I should be?Am I the kind to be content in my splendorAfter all the trouble gettin' on the freeway?
